In franca of software engineering”. Evidence from industry does contrast, the informant concluded that probably 45 of the 47 not necessarily support such endorsements. How exactly is UML were like him: “selective borrowers” … “who use some of the being used in industry – if it is? This paper presents a corpus of principles sometimes”. The IBM speaker and the informant interviews with 50 professional software engineers in 50 had very different models of what ‘using UML’ means in companies and identifies 5 patterns of UML use. practice, with different implications.

Tool Use in Software Modelling Education
Tool use in software modelling education Seiko Akayama1, Birgit Demuth3, Timothy C. Lethbridge4, Marion Scholz2, Perdita Stevens5, and Dave R. Stikkolorum6 1 Kyushu University, Japan 2 Vienna University of Technology, Austria 3 Technische Universit¨atDresden, Germany 4 University of Ottawa Canada 5 University of Edinburgh Scotland 6 Leiden University The Netherlands Abstract. An important decision that must be taken by anyone design- ing a course involving (object oriented software) modelling is what tool support, if any, to use. Options include picking an industrial strength modelling tool, using a tool specifically designed for educational use, or eschewing tool use altogether in favour of pencil and paper. The best an- swer will depend on many factors, including the prior experience of the students (and staff), the length and organisation of the course, and the learning objectives. Moreover, decisions on tools have an impact on other aspects of course design. In this informal paper, the result of discussion at the MODELS Educators' Symposium 2013, we survey previous work on this question, discuss our own experience, and draw out some key issues that someone designing a new course involving modelling must consider. 1 Introduction Teaching object oriented design and modelling in a university is important not only because these are important skills that students will need if they pursue careers in software development, but also because this area is a key interface be- tween research and teaching. This double motivation { we might say, vocational and intellectual { for teaching design and modelling is itself a source of challenge for educators. We experience a tension between the desire to train students in the skills they will need after university, and the desire to have them reflect on the nature of design and modelling and the ways in which these activities could be improved with the help of cutting edge research. -
Sysml Distilled: a Brief Guide to the Systems Modeling Language
ptg11539604 Praise for SysML Distilled “In keeping with the outstanding tradition of Addison-Wesley’s techni- cal publications, Lenny Delligatti’s SysML Distilled does not disappoint. Lenny has done a masterful job of capturing the spirit of OMG SysML as a practical, standards-based modeling language to help systems engi- neers address growing system complexity. This book is loaded with matter-of-fact insights, starting with basic MBSE concepts to distin- guishing the subtle differences between use cases and scenarios to illu- mination on namespaces and SysML packages, and even speaks to some of the more esoteric SysML semantics such as token flows.” — Jeff Estefan, Principal Engineer, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory “The power of a modeling language, such as SysML, is that it facilitates communication not only within systems engineering but across disci- plines and across the development life cycle. Many languages have the ptg11539604 potential to increase communication, but without an effective guide, they can fall short of that objective. In SysML Distilled, Lenny Delligatti combines just the right amount of technology with a common-sense approach to utilizing SysML toward achieving that communication. Having worked in systems and software engineering across many do- mains for the last 30 years, and having taught computer languages, UML, and SysML to many organizations and within the college setting, I find Lenny’s book an invaluable resource. He presents the concepts clearly and provides useful and pragmatic examples to get you off the ground quickly and enables you to be an effective modeler.” — Thomas W. Fargnoli, Lead Member of the Engineering Staff, Lockheed Martin “This book provides an excellent introduction to SysML. -

Using Telelogic DOORS and Microsoft Visio to Model and Visualize Complex Business Processes
Using Telelogic DOORS and Microsoft Visio to Model and Visualize Complex Business Processes “The Business Driven Application Lifecycle” Bob Sherman Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals [email protected] Michael Sutherland Galactic Solutions Group, LLC [email protected] Prepared for the Telelogic 2005 User Group Conference, Americas & Asia/Pacific http://www.telelogic.com/news/usergroup/us2005/index.cfm 24 October 2005 Abstract: The fact that most Information Technology (IT) projects fail as a result of requirements management problems is common knowledge. What is not commonly recognized is that the widely haled “use case” and Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) phenomenon have resulted in little (if any) abatement of IT project failures. In fact, ten years after the advent of these methods, every major IT industry research group remains aligned on the fact that these projects are still failing at an alarming rate (less than a 30% success rate). Ironically, the popularity of use case and OOAD (e.g. UML) methods may be doing more harm than good by diverting our attention away from addressing the real root cause of IT project failures (when you have a new hammer, everything looks like a nail). This paper asserts that, the real root cause of IT project failures centers around the failure to map requirements to an accurate, precise, comprehensive, optimized business model. This argument will be supported by a using a brief recap of the history of use case and OOAD methods to identify differences between the problems these methods were intended to address and the challenges of today’s IT projects. -
Executing UML Models
Executing UML Models Miguel Pinto Luz1, Alberto Rodrigues da Silva1 1Instituto Superior Técnico Av. Rovisco Pais 1049-001 Lisboa – Portugal {miguelluz, alberto.silva}@acm.org Abstract. Software development evolution is a history of permanent seeks for raising the abstraction level to new limits overcoming new frontiers. Executable UML (xUML) comes this way as the expectation to achieve the next level in abstraction, offering the capability of deploying a xUML model in a variety of software environments and platforms without any changes. This paper comes as a first expedition inside xUML, exploring the main aspects of its specification including the action languages support and the fundamental MDA compliance. In this paper is presented a future new xUML tool called XIS-xModels that gives Microsoft Visio new capabilities of running and debugging xUML models. This paper is an outline of the capabilities and main features of the future application. Keywords: UML, executable UML, Model Debugging, Action Language. 1. Introduction In a dictionary we find that an engineer is a person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems, planning and directing, but an information technology engineer is someone that spends is time on implementing lines of code, instead of being focus on planning and projecting. Processes, meetings, models, documents, or even code are superfluous artifacts for organizations: all they need is well design and fast implemented working system, that moves them towards a new software development paradigm, based on high level executable models. According this new paradigm it should be possible to reduce development time and costs, and to bring new product quality warranties, only reachable by executing, debugging and testing early design stages (models). -

Challenges and Opportunity of UML Diagram for Software Project Development As a Complete Modeling Tool
IOSR Journal of Mobile Computing & Application (IOSR-JMCA) e- ISSN: 2394-0050, P-ISSN: 2394-0042.Volume 7, Issue 3 (May - June 2020), PP 46-48 www.iosrjournals.org Challenges and Opportunity of UML Diagram for Software Project development as a complete Modeling Tool Ketema Kifle Gebretsadik1 Debre Markos University, School of Computing, Institute of Technology, Debre Markos, Ethiopia Abstract: UML(Unified Modeling Language) is a most useful method of visualization and documenting software systems design.UML uses object oriented design concepts and it is independent of specific programming language. Unified Modeling Language is a popular technique for documenting and modeling system. The UML uses set of symbols to represent graphically the various components and relationships within the system and UML can be used for business processing modeling and requirements modeling, it mainly is used to support object oriented system analysis and to develop the object models. Many articles describe UML features, but only very few of them discuss its downside in software design. This article discusses the downside of UML as a complete modeling tool for software design. Some of the disadvantages of UML areno specification for modeling of user interfaces, business rule specification a group exists for this within theObject Management Group(OMG), so we should see something in UML and Poor for distributed systems are no way to formally specify serialization and object persistence.Even though UML have many advantages it has also their owndownside for software design.
